Rescue Beauty Lounge Scrangie vs. Sally Hansen Grape Going!

        After the post about Sally Hansen Grape Going!, I received a couple of emails asking about how it compared to Rescue Beauty Lounge Scrangie. I know there have been other comparisons of these two, but I  was curious to see them side by side myself, so I put together a little comparison of my own.

   Okay, so these two are not dupes and really are not even that close, so anyone owning both is perfectly justified. Like I said earlier though, I actually like the Sally Hansen better. I think it looks better on me and has a much better duochrome than Scrangie. And of course, Grape Going!'s price is much more palatable. 
    But with that said, I'm still going to keep Scrangie. It's pretty and unique (if overhyped), and I am fond of the iridescent shimmer that Scrangie has. It also has the better formula...both needed three coats before I was satisfied, but Scrangie wasn't as runny as Grape Going! and dried faster, so I can see wearing it again. 


Also, I've installed a widget at the bottom of the page that is like...a search engine for beauty professionals, and was created by betterfly.com.  I generally like to keep this space ad-free, but since it may actually be pretty useful for somebody, I'm letting this one in. 

And with that, I am all done for today! Thanks for reading and have a happy weekend!

I can see why. :)
I believe more comparisons are better, even if they've been done before, so I'm glad you did this one. I have both, too, and will likely keep them both.

That's pretty true....sometimes, people will do the same comparison and I'll see something in one set of pictures that I didn't see in another.
And yeahh team keep them both! *belly bumps*
I wanted Scrangie as soon as it came out. I still don't have it! I like that it has a little less duochrome. Even though it hasn't, I feel like the purple to blue has been done over and over and over and............

Yep, it's kind of getting repetitive...but it's still pretty every time muahahaha.
And maybe you can get scrangie on its next release...even if you can't, don't worry. After it sells out, it'll get brought back over and over and over and.... ;)
cool dude! I like both, but have neither lol

lol, story of everyone's life! Grape going is hidden in the display of mediocre sally colors, so no one sees unless unless they're actively looking. And scrangie keeps on running out, but I don't know why. Ji knows everyone loves that color; she should just go ahead and make it permanent.
Aww... It is SO NOT a dupe!! :( Too many people are matching their manis to the photos online and claiming dupes but this definitely is not close. Now I need Scrangie again! I wish I had one, lol.

Ahahaha sadly, nope, not even a bit. It's an alternative, but definitely not a dupe.
And yeahh I know...I hate when people do that, because it's so misleading. You can't really know unless you see them side by side.
But chin up, girl! Scrangie will be making a comeback soon, so you can snag it then! ^_^
Scrangie has been a lemming of mine since it came out, but I really like Grape Going! I love the shine coming from it.

That's what I like about Grape Going too...Scrangie is pretty, but Grape Going is way glowier. :D
Woah I'm tardy for the party, but I'm glad that you like it!
It does shine mightily, yea verily. :D
You may very well kill my bank. Before I started following your blog, I never wanted anything to do with nailpolish. Now, because of your awesomeness, I have been checking out sales on nail polishes at my local CVS whenever I can. It's an addiction!

Stop giving me things to buy! LOL

BEAUTIFUL color here

Yess yess come to the dark side.
And i think i've said this before, but really, i'm just paying you back for your killing of my bank with your awesomesauce makeup swatches.
All is fair in love and war and cosmetics. >_>
